Construction Worker Dies as a Result of an 11-Foot Fall From Unguarded Residential Deck
Full text linkA 46-year-old construction worker died as a result of an 11-foot fall from an unguarded residential deck. The victim was finishing a screen door on the deck when he may have been attacked by stinging insects in the area. In the victim's attempt to escape the area, he fell from the deck and landed on dirt, rocks, and building materials. The MO FACE investigator concluded that in order to prevent future similar occurrences employers should: 1. install and maintain railings around all open-sided floors, platforms, and runways when the height exceeds four feet. 2. develop, implement and enforce a comprehensive safety program that includes, but is not limited to, training in hazard recognition and avoidance.Publication Date provided by FACE program; not printed on the reportCooperative Agreemen
Logger Dies After Being Struck By Falling Tree
Full text linkOn April 1, 1998, a 40-year-old male timber cutter (victim) died after being struck by a falling tree. The victim was part of a five-man crew working a selective-cut logging contract. He and another cutter had felled several trees and were waiting for the skidder to pull two logs out of the area. Without warning the logs being skidded out rolled and struck a standing tree, which sheared off at the base and began to fall. The skidder operator yelled a warning and the victim began running away from the skidder. He ran directly into the path of the falling tree and was struck on the head and shoulders. The co-workers came to the aid of the victim but he died within minutes at the scene. The purpose of the FACE Program is to identify risk factors that contribute to worker injury and death, and to make recommendations to employers and individuals on how similar events can be avoided. From the information collected about this incident, the MO FACE investigator concluded that employers should: 1. ensure that employees are trained in hazard awareness and proper escape procedures; 2. develop, implement and enforce a written safety program which includes, but is not limited to, worker training in hazard identification and avoidance.Cooperative Agreemen
